The Peverell Coat-of-Arms has only three bunches of grain - tied 
with a knotted band.  I haven't the time right now to research what 
they mean - will do so later today.  Anyone know their Coat of Arms 
symbols out there?

The seven charms that guarded the PS/SS in Book 1 - the themes of 
books 1-6 have been linked to these charms.  Are the horcruxes 
linked as well?  Could the ring be "plant:  devil's snare - charm in 
PS/SS, mandrake root cure for those petrified in COS, ring - trio of 
grain bunches on Coat of Arms?  Should we be focusing on the charms 
to help us identify the horcruxes?
